STUART BROAD has revealed his masterplan to win back his England one-day spot and play in the Champions Trophy.

The world’s No 3 Test bowler was dumped for the five 50-over matches against Sri Lanka, starting at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

But Broad is so determined to reclaim his place that he is prepared to travel the globe to convince England’s selectors he should be chosen. The 29-year-old said: “Big aims of mine are to play in the 2019 World Cup and next year’s Champions Trophy.

“But I’ve got to plot a way back into the team. It’s tricky as I haven’t played much white-ball cricket recently.

“The squad against Sri Lanka was picked on merit and I can’t argue with that.

“I’m going to have to find a way to take some one-day wickets.

“I’ll look at the schedule at home and abroad. There might be a decent opportunity after Christmas because there’s no Test cricket between then and next July.”

Broad has taken an impressive 178 wickets in 121 one-day internationals and captained England in the 2012 and 2014 World T20 events.

But he was dropped after a disappointing World Cup last year as England trialled some younger bowlers. Clearly, however, Broad is better than any of Liam Plunkett, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Chris Woakes or the injured Reece Topley.

Broad believes head coach Trevor Bayliss hasn't closed the door on him yet

To prove his white-ball ability, Broad says he would consider playing in the megabucks Indian Premier League and Aussie Big Bash — or the more modest New Zealand and Australian domestic 50-over events.

The Notts star added: “Trevor Bayliss hasn’t closed the door on me.

“I could look at the IPL but the Royal London Cup next year might be best.

“My record is actually very good with the white ball and it does stand up against most of the world’s best, so I feel I have something to offer.”
